The Howard Family set up Nature's Hideaway at Middle Lagoon in 1996 as a tucked away holiday destination overlooking a spectacularly isolated white beach bay.
The family have a deep affection for this unique and unforgettable countryside. Over the years they have expanded the operation and there are now five family members working in the business.
Originally most of the visitors were "locals" from Broome, but today people from all over the world come to share in Middle Lagoon's natural beauty, peace and wonderfully relaxed way of life.
Middle Lagoon covers 26 hectares of prime beachfront land, and the community will welcome you as one of their own. Take a seat overlooking the beautiful ocean and enjoy getting to know the people that call this place home...
Driving
Middle Lagoon is 180 kilometres north of Broome on the Dampier Peninsula. Allow for at least two and a half hours to travel to Middle Lagoon from Broome - an entertaining morning's drive on a wide, pindan red road that runs past giant anthills through thick, green bush alive with the colours and sounds of the teeming Kimberley bush. Heading north on the Cape Leveque Road, the Middle Lagoon turnoff is on your left after Beagle Bay. Middle Lagoon is 40 kilometres from the turnoff. It is well signposted.
